any idea if i am doing something wrong?

btw, before installing it i wiped data with titanium and uninstalled it.
[Android Apps and Games] :No-Frost::
I've used the default settings... I haven't try it with original Maps. I used to sign the app in Windows until I was told about zipsigner :)
[Android Apps and Games] baliriot:
After paste in the system/app, try change the permission like in the screenshot attachment, then reboot... if still not working, try the flashable zip from the 1st post. Or just wait for the next mod update. ;)

Dumb question...is data connection still required for voice navigation?
[Android Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hi,

thanks for the application. I tried using it but I am having the same problem as mentioned above:

Gps errors, out of sync map.

I reverted back to 5.10 which runs flawlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] ayushmaster:

[Android Apps and Games] :
have you tried restarting your phone?

Is there newer versions for no root devices?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] agentxq49:
You need to hold press the app in root explorer after copying it into the system, click permissions, and check the top row and left collum. meaning, uncheck the four boxes in the bottom right.

Cant rmb the names, but it should be user has all checked, system and admin is only read. Reboot.

So now we have to wait for 5.3.0 update?
[Android Apps and Games] rizky_p:
same here waiting for 5.3 version :)
[Android Apps and Games] osskhan:
Yes do something about the new Maps 5.3.0.....by the way great job loved it!!!
[Android Apps and Games] arpitkohli:
how long we have to wait for 5.3.0????
[Android Apps and Games] derekchoi:
so after installation of maps ownhere, can we update to maps 5.3 in market? or have to wait for yr 5.3 version?
[Android Apps and Games] Henrik_Nyberg:
Why not make this a universal thread? like "[APP MOD] Google Maps "Brut" edition". And then just keep the first post updated with the most current version even if it's Brut.all or ownhere or someone else who blesses us with a unlocked maps?
[Android Apps and Games] Henrik_Nyberg:
patience is a virtue, let's just wait for the new version and hope it will surface. Untill then be happy with 5.2.1. I know from experience that nagging does not work when your not holding the payslip. So let's just be thankful for the versions we have and hope for the new one to come. I can do with 5.2.1 I'm not missing any functions.

If you were the developer then we would be in a completely other situation and you would be entitled to nag.
[Android Apps and Games] rak007:
So as i mentioned before i am not able to install the attached APKs even after doing everything mentioned in this thread and also following advice from fellow members. But i am able to install google maps directly from market without any issues.
[Android Apps and Games] ivan0550:
I finally found a way to install it on my Samsung Vibrant...

Instructions:

1. Wipe cache and Uninstall

Maps

and

StreetView

using Titanium Backup.

2. Using Root Explorer, copy maps5.2.1-ownhere.apk to /system/app.

Forget the resign one (never worked for me)

3. Hold maps5.2.1-ownhere.apk for further options and choose Permissions.

4. Uncheck the entire Execute Column, and uncheck the second option in Write column.

Example:

Read-------Write-------Execute

-o-----------o------------x-

-o-----------x------------x-

-o-----------x------------x-

5. Reboot the phone.

5. Done.. Now you should have Maps in the App Drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] rawdealer:
or just CP from computer to SD and click on it ;) thats all :D
[Android Apps and Games] ivan0550:
For some people (like me) is not working that method :)
[Android Apps and Games] rak007:
Hey thanks for the steps. This actually worked for me.

Can you just add an additional step of rebooting the phone after setting the permissions of the file ?? I guess that is needed (at least it was for me)
[Android Apps and Games] comfor:
Thanks it works great.

Guys.. Any news of the latest maps mod 6.0.1??
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Google map 6.0.1

Claimed World Navigation activated

Source : http://www.meizumi.com/map/3421.html
[Android Apps and Games] gzbeta:
No, checked its MD5, that's original version of google maps 6.0.1
[Android Apps and Games] blu3angel:
Just tested it.. It doesn't have the worldwide navigation...
[Android Apps and Games] aliendna51:
Is that the ownhere version or the original?
[Android Apps and Games] helmetbox:
sorry for a noob question to be asked..

does this come in offline mode?
[Android Apps and Games] aben2amu:
No, it doesn´t
[Android Apps and Games] makbil:
You can cache some areas so it mostly works in offline mode but I think it needs a data connection to initially search for places.
[Android Apps and Games] helmetbox:
Thanks dude.. but if i'm driving oversea, it will be impracticable to use the app then as the data roaming will be very expensive.
[Android Apps and Games] miloytyn:
It took me 3 days to learn how to do it but finally managed to make working changepn version of maps. So here is the version for non-rooted phones which will install alongside the original maps. Enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] :No-Frost::
Which guide did you followed??

I'm trying to figure it out how to mod the maps myself so that way it might take less time to make it available for everyone :)
[Android Apps and Games] miloytyn:
Nothing I just learned it by trial and error. Here's whay you need to do. First unpack the apk with apktool. Then you need to go to smali directory and move following directories under com/google/ to ownhere/google/ (googlenav, android/location, android/maps and android/apps/maps). You need to create that ownhere directory. Then replace com.google.android.apps.maps to ownhere.google.android.apps.maps from every file in extracted apk. Do same thing for every moved directory. Also you need to replace same thing with slashes instead of dots e.g. com/google/android...

Icons can be modified in res/drawable-hdpi directory. There are 4 of them and same files can be found from res/drawable-xhdpi ditectory (for large dimensions). (da_ic_navigation.png, ic_launcher_maps.png, latitude_icon.png and places_icon.png)

I also had to remove 'android:uiOptions="1"' parameter from line 43 in AndroidManifest.xml to be able to rebuild the apk.

After this you can rebuild apk with apktool. Sign the apk and use zipalign.
[Android Apps and Games] aben2amu:
You can only cache offline a 10 mile radius , if you want offline all the time use Sygic or other gps programs that are on the android market.
[Android Apps and Games] Redflea:
I thought that you can cache 10 tiles, each 10sq miles. Yeah, just confirmed, you can cache multiple tiles, and they measure 15 miles on a side.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Sign n resigned file size is 6.30 MB, here it is around 5MB??
[Android Apps and Games] miloytyn:
You're right, it seems that apktool makes smaller file. I tried to just extract the resigned apk and then build it back without making any changes and the resulting file was about 5 MB.

Oh and I also forgot from the instructions that I had to remove 'android:uiOptions="1"' parameter from line 43 in AndroidManifest.xml to be able to rebuild the apk.
[Android Apps and Games] chintan.dholakiya:

You lose navigation if you update a newer version from marked.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Currently there's no ics support but that will change once we get some more stabile ics ports .

Different countries use different map data which is download from the server, so we can't change the language on the street names..

zipsigner installed and ready go ;)

App Working on ICS,

Tried it on a Nexus S (i9023) running CM9 Alpha 13 (Franco's 12-12 Test kernel)

The A13 ROM didnt come with G-Apps so i skiped the first 3 steps. and Installed the signed apk and worked right away. had to grant permissions from the notifications menu.

** Haven't tested it outdoors (with GPS) but Navigation opens up and starts searching for GPS Satellites. Will test it with GPS and report back.

That is how I got the notification of google maps being updated to version 6.0.3. Somebody on the US market could tell us if this is true.

I asked majorgeeks.com about the android updates and their postings come from Google.

If it arnt broken. Then why try to fix it..of course updates are nice..but at the rate that Google is updating..

[Android Apps and Games] timonoj:
Help!

I'm a bit new in these installing procedures. Until now I've been using the update.zip method, and has been working flawlessly. But for some reason, if I install the apk, it will fail saying "application not installed". Either the unsigned or the resigned fail. I checked the /system/app folder, but there's no previous maps app there, so I don't know why it fails.

I also attempted to place the app there, instead of adb I copied the (unsigned) file with the root explorer, but then it won't show in the available apps. It's not detected as installed, somehow.

Can anybody offer some guidance? What am I doing wrong? Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] halfvast:

i have SGS2 with stock rom and i did the exact steps at the first post, but when i reboot the phone there's a message appear in notifications bar "USB storage damaged" .. i can't see my files at the internal storage, and it says that it need format ..

but when i put the phone into the recovery mode i can see all my folders there

anyway .. i was able to backup my files and photos using "Droid Explorer" ..

what i need now is a zip version of google maps so i can flash it from the recovery mode, it may help with my problem ..

Where can I find the odex files? Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] szihs:
http://db.tt/8rqxkFjq

I've moved Maps to system partition and it's odex file too using Titanium Backup Pro. Otherwise if i only place Maps in system the dex/odex file is placed somewhere in /data partition. See the image attached

Locate via root user command prompt

# find / -iname *maps*

you will find the files location. Remove the apk along with corresponding odex.

Then place the newMaps.apk n reboot
[Android Apps and Games] miloytyn:
It has been moved to new package so the android sees it as completely different app.
[Android Apps and Games] timonoj:
Thanks! In my case it was a .dex file in /data/dalvik-cache.

As soon as I left the root explorer (also renamed the app to Maps.apk), it just came the notification as if I just installed it a second ago! Working fine now, thank you so much!

Just one thing, it seems that it's version 6.0.3 however, in the about section appears as 6.0.2

This is the same 6.0.2 version, I installed 3 different ways and said 6.0.2

I tried with another file from blackdroid and still on about maps says 6.0.2

If more proof is needed. Download this and go to the market and check google maps. It should say you have updated maps. :D
[Android Apps and Games] aben2amu:
Most of us don´t have Google Maps on our markets.
[Android Apps and Games] jr_718:
Ooh. Where are you? And I think you can download an app called market enabler google it not sure what's called to let you download market apps no matter where you are..
[Android Apps and Games] aben2amu:
Market enabler will not work with the latest market.
[Android Apps and Games] jr_718:
Why..haven't tried it, but why not. If not then just downgrade. There's an app I saw that can give you old market and new market you just select which one. Can't remember the name.
[Android Apps and Games] :No-Frost::
For your understanding... It IS 6.0.3, however, Ownhere forgot to mod the "about" on the app...

If you open titanium backup or any other app that shows you the version of the app it WILL tell you it's 6.0.3.

It's just about the about info that is wrong, I have confirmed this with titanium backup and I have uncompiled the app just to be sure.

Remember that Market Access is different than Market Enabler.
